Good morning Bay Islands. Our photo of the day comes from Patric Lengacher at Paya Bay. With winds coming from the south, inside the reef at Paya Bay will still be pretty calm, depite the strong winds. Today is eclipse day. Hopefully skies clear out for you wherever you are.
On satellite we see a pretty decent storm that popped up overnight over southern Belize and the coast of Guatemala. A few high clouds are actually close to Utila from this storm, but unfortunately none of the rain will come this way. I think we would trade in a 40 percent eclipse for a nice rain. Things look decent right now for Mitch Cummins in Mazatlan, but unfortunately clouds are supposed to increase there through the day. I think we should be partly cloudy by noon for the eclipse.
Wind and Galaxy Wave forecast: We start the day with 20 mph winds and 3 foot seas on the southside. Those winds and seas will continue today, tomorrow and Wednesday. We will have low pressure nearby as we get into Thursday, Friday and Saturday, meaning that winds will be variable on the islands depending on your location.
The cold front that is bringing clouds to much of the total eclipse zone, will finally make it here on Friday, giving us about a 40 percent chance of rain Friday and Saturday.
Speaking of Mitch Cummins, don’t forget to get in touch with him when he returns to get your order in for Roatan Pets food. Sourced from local ingredients and 10 percent of proceeds goes to Roatan Operation Animal Rescue.
5. Low tide is 2:30 p.m. Have a great week and don’t look at the sun!
